Egg hatching is not fun anymore.

I don't think I'm ever buying coins for incubators again. Not until something changes, because I think Niantic screwed up big time moving cool & useful pokemon such as Exeggcute / Machop / Abra into the 2KM egg pool and leaving all the crappy ones in 5 KM eggs.

All I ever get lately is 5 KM eggs, it costs a lot of money to buy incubators for all of them and I just can't stand hatching another Psyduck or Tentacool or Whooper - these are crappy pokemon and I don't even need them, don't need that many candies either that comes from a 5 km hatch. It's not fun anymore! I'm completely unexcited to hatch a 5 km egg! Above all that 5 km is A LOT of walking for such a disappointing result.

I like 2 km and 10 km but both are super rare for me. And i.e. I desperately need Exeggcute candies but even with the mega rare exeggcute hatch from 2 KM - the amount of candies you get is less than rewarding.

Niantic needs to try and make hatches more exciting again, change the pokemon pool or sth because it's not fun anymore especially for high level players :((

Yeah, we can't get shiny Magikarps from eggs, but Rhyhorn, Seel, Shellder and other good Pokémon still hatch from a 5 kilometer egg.

Scythers, Kabutos and Onix come from 5 km too. But Paras and Krabby are a bane of mine. And imagine my frustration when I walked a 5 km (in the everlasting incubator, only one at that time) which turned out very old and so it gave me a Goldeen. The 'mon I already hated 'cos a few 2 km eggs had given me them. Lmao.

5km are both the most common and the worst return on investment and the occasional time a hatch an eevee and think will i finally be able to make a decent vaperon over 90% (i have caught over 1200 of the bastards and my best vape is 89% all the 6 95% that i have had all went jolteon mostly with bad movesets) I get it has certainly caught my attention, I haven't hatched a wonder since they came out of 10km eggs.

How about buying 5 incubators and walking 10KM to hatch a violet egg but who comes out?

All 5 violet eggs released an ugly "PENICO" in a line...

2KM, 5KM and 10KM eggs are both have odds...

4 eggs, two Mantines and two Sudowoodos.

Since when was hatching eggs fun? it's a pain in the ass and rarely does well. Hatching eggs is something you do while your playing the game, not the game itself.

Yeah pokemon from egg need to be reviewed again, krabby, goldeen, paras & some common pkmn need to be replaced with houndour, swinub and some other gen 2 & starter would be nice

No, please, no more Swinubs! My city is swamped with Swinubs. Hatching those from eggs would be even more dissapointing than a Krabby!

(I agree though that alot of species shouldn't hatch from eggs annymore)

I regard hatching in general as a source of stardust with the potential of a nice surprise. Bad hatch? Ok, as expected, does not matter, next egg, thanks for the dust.
I regard hatching a 5km-egg as a neccessity to get free space for a new 10-km-egg.
I use incubators, to get 5km-eggs faster hatched away. Sometimes, even there may be a good surprise.

If hatching is so disappointing to you, there is no problem to walk some kilometers with an empty incubator.
